Yeah you heard me third party support critics. EA are the ones I hate the most. I bought their blatant Mass Effect cash grab and how do they repay me? Their EA Sports guy blasts me, you, the system and the company on Twitter while also sounding extremely, extremely arrogant. His comments pretty much said the system shouldn't exist because he can't find success on it. he sounded like a Sony employee from 2007.

A lot of you blame Nintendo and talk about what we Wii U only owners miss out on yet here we are now. Ubisoft, the people who CLAIM to be so supportive of Wii U, are some how managing to kill every single port they bring at the last minute with a bombshell none of us knew about. So I'll ask the question. If the port I am given of Assassin's Creed IV is missing DLC then why should I care if the fifth one doesn't get on my system?

Wii U owners are basically Bob Barker and third parties are Happy Gilmore. Wii U owners cry "I don't want a piece of you (the port) I want the WHOLE THING! (the DLC)". So they pummel the living, breathing, money grabbing bruises out of third parties to tell them they aren't welcome here unless they learn to treat us the same. This isn't Nintendo's fault so stop blaming them. The reason they bring these games on here is to extend the appeal to those who want them, yet something always goes wrong.

Deus Ex didn't effect me since I am in the UK but its obvious only desperation would persuade you to buy it on Wii U at an extra 20 bucks. What do these companies expect? Its time you third party critics started putting the blame where it truly lies.

As for the companies, what can I say? Put up or shut up. Side note = I am never buying an EA game new again. That employee disregarded the people who bought his shoddy excuse for Fifa 13 and insulted them anyway. Sorry but EA deserve to be the worst company in America for the third year straight.

If EA and Ubisoft are all the third parties you can think of you should play more games.

To be fair they arnt the only 3rd party's giving ninty fans the middle finger. I can't think of one solid reason why a download only title like sega/Disney's Mickeys castle of illusion remake skipped the u . That's just one more example.

That's a really weird analogy.

I agree. If 3rd parties don't step it up, I'm afraid I can't really give a damn about what they have to offer. This somewhat goes for Xbox One and PS4, too.

The industry as a whole is jacked, IMO. We'll see what happens.

I'm not trying to sound entitled, I just think the whole situation could be alot better and everyone refuses to make anything truly better.

This is exactly the reason stereotypical 3rd parties stay away from Wii U.

A disgruntled fanbase would object to entire categories of games they deem as un-Nintendo (to coin a phrase). Conveniently this turns Nintendo's first party stance into a supposed advantage, but the effect is akin to putting on blinders and ignoring numerous mainstream offerings.

It's third parties fault their games aren't doing well on Wii U. Most of them are lazy ports of year old games, others are a port of a game with some features missing and possibly no DLC release and some are just plain rushed. Third Parties never truly gave Wii U a chance and then claimed it was our fault when their half-assed efforts didn't do well with our console. This is part of the reason why I could care less for third parties and think their importance is really minimal. They act as if the Big 3 gaming companies are the ones who should bend to there every whim when really, it should be the other way around. They're arrogant and need to be taken down a notch.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You summed up the situation!!!!

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

This. It baffles me how people think that a video game company is worse than those that ruined the US economy. If EA is America's worst company, then this country is doing better than we thought.

Yeah well they ticked off a lot of people, so that says something

This is what Regginator was saying about people whinging about lack of games then when they get them it is all about wanting more... Gamers are a bunch of unsatisfied punks

I pretty much totally agree with OP on EA, but it seems like, no offense OP, he's trying to group pretty much every company not owned by Nintendo, Sony, or MS in with EA.

I am not sure you are actually playing any of these 3rd party games... Seriously. AC IV - Awesome on Wii U, really, if you aren't buying this on the system you like, Wii U, because of no DLC, GO AWAY, stop playing video games. Why deprive yourself?

Deus Ex - awesome on Wii U, really worth $50 if have never played it,
Both Batman Games - Great on Wii U, especially Origins compared to other platforms,

NFS Most Wanted - Awesome on Wii U, Mass Effect 3 - while not timed right, should have been trilogy, was very well done,
Monster Hunter 3 U,
Rayman for the love of PETE!
the Lego games, Marvel and Undercover...

Seriously. There are a couple more games too. I do not understand some people. That is easily a year to a year and a half of good to great gaming. Quit your whining.

All of those game were worth every penny I paid for them. I don't know what you guys are thinking. You want 3rd party support, buy the games. People need to stop thinking about perceived slights by big companies or what they think they are missing out on, and just buy the games for the systems you want to play them on, and ENJOY THE GAMES....

Also Sonic Lost World is more hardcore than Mario 3D World
